Just spotted a massive old-school mill at the museum in Greenfield Village

It was a huge Cincinnati from the 1940s, still with the original handwheels and a brass plate. Made me appreciate how far our controls have come, anyone else seen a cool piece of machining history lately?

Disagree on the controls part (those old handwheels gave you a real feel for the work). Sometimes simpler is better.
